I was thinking how cool it would be if Toyota offered a pickup version of the Prius. Of course, the obvious name is the best part - Prickup. Hauling capacity would be nil, but that hasn't stopped similar models, such as the Subaru Baja. The Prickup bed could easily fit a BBQ grill and a Keg, or even a naggy wife. There are some very talented and imaginative folks who surf Priuschat.com. Anybody want to submit some photoshop concepts for the Prickup? Bonus points if you show the naggy wife in back. Extra bonus points if you include a Viagra bumper sticker right above the Prickup logo.
I don't know PhotoShop, but if you can wait for my next shipment of WeePris, I'm planning a few more...uh...alterations.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Beryl Octet @ Oct 4 2006, 11:36 PM) [snapback]328297[/snapback]</div> Whatza WeePri? You must be new here. Itza 1/34 scale diecast model, available in 6 colours. Hang on and I'll see if I can attach a picture... ...On second thought, there's way more than a thousand words worth of pictures in the original threads. Pay a visit to the Private Sales forum in the PriusChat MarketPlace. Ask for Rufaro.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Oct 5 2006, 12:23 PM) [snapback]328482[/snapback]</div> i'd love to see the marketing for that! :blink: but i don't know... still haven't found anything that tops "ta-da!"-lafil :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Oct 5 2006, 12:23 PM) [snapback]328482[/snapback]</div> Now THAT is so wrong!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Mojo40 @ Oct 4 2006, 08:00 PM) [snapback]328277[/snapback]</div> Careful with the naggy wife comments, you'll end up riding in the back with the prickdown. Too bad car company's don't have as good a sense of humor.
Personally, I think the Priup might have more road presence if we added a chrome-plated vertical exhaust pipe on each side, dually tires in the back, a set of air horns and clearance lights on top, and mudflaps with those attractive chrome silhouettes of naked women to complete the look. It'll pull a fifth-wheel trailer, right...? [smile]
